Lund, University city in Scania, Sweden

The streets of central Lund connect medieval buildings with modern university facilities across a network of cobblestone paths and bicycle lanes.

Founded in 990 when Scania belonged to Denmark, Lund Cathedral became the center of Catholic influence in Scandinavia from 1103 to 1536.

Students gather at Stadsparken on April 30th for Walpurgis Night celebrations with traditional songs, bonfires, and community gatherings.

The city maintains 260 kilometers of bicycle paths and 5,500 bike racks in the center, supporting the primary transportation method for residents.

Katedralskolan, established in 1085 by Canute the Saint, continues to operate as the oldest educational institution in Scandinavia.
